AYERS For generations, the memory of Thomas Jefferson has been inseparable from his nation's memory of race and slavery. Just as Jefferson's words are invoked whenever America's ideals of democracy and freedom need an elo­ quent spokesman, so are his actions invoked when critics level charges of white guilt, hypocrisy, and evasion. In the nineteenth century, abolitionists used Jefferson's words as swords; slaveholders used his example as a shield.

Volume 5, Number 1 2 I Supreme Decision: Roger Taney and the Dred Scott Case By Mike Nicholas ‘07 Of all the events that pushed a divided nation closer and closer to war, none seemed to have the power to ignite the passions of sectionalists more than the Dred Scott Decision. What began as an obscure, relatively innocuous civil action in a Missouri district court evolved into a national battle cry for abolitionists in the North, a vindication of the peculiar institution for the South, and a catalyst that would ultimately bring the two sides to settle their dispute on the battlefield. At the center of this controversial decision was its principal architect and author, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. Criticism of this Marylander came from those who at one time held him in the highest esteem and regarded him for his legal prowess, but who now despised him for what they considered to be his abdication of legal principle in favor of a personal bias for slavery, a corrupt bargain with the incoming president, and the final straw in a Southern conspiracy to expand slavery.

  • Adams and Jefferson : Personal Politics in the Early Republic
    d ADAMS AND JEFFERSON: Personal Politics in the Early Republic John Connor The deterioration of the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson remains a controversial subject among his­ torians. The two men were once the best of friends, spending personal time with each other’s family, and enjoying a profes­ sional collaboration that would become famous—drafting the Declaration of Independence. Furthermore, they freely ac­ knowledged their mutual fondness. In 1784, Adams wrote that his colleague Thomas Jefferson was “an old friend with whom I have often had occasion to labor at many a knotty problem and in whose ability and steadiness I always found great cause to confide.”1 Jefferson wrote similar words of praise to his friend James Madison: “[Adams] is profound in his views, and accurate in his judgments. He is so amiable, that I pronounce you will love him if ever you become acquainted with him.”2 But despite this initial close friendship, by the 1790s Adams called Jefferson “weak, confused, uninformed, and ignorant.”3 At the same time, Jefferson called Adams actions as President “the most grotesque scene in the tragic­comedy of govern­ ment.”4 What led these two men who once worked so closely together to turn from close friends to bitter enemies in only ten years? How their friendship dissolved has been discussed by Stephen Kurtz, Stanley Elkins, and Eric McKitrick, who em­ 58 phasize certain events in the Adams Presidency as precise mo­ ments in which the two men parted ways.5 Noble Cunningham Jr., points to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Act and the creation of a Standing Army as the point at which the two men’s differences became irreconcilable.6 Recent scholarship by James Sharp argues that a dinner conversation held before Adams was even elected led to their disbanding.7 A second school of thought, led by Merrill Peterson, Dumas Malone, and John Ferling, links the divide not so much to a particular event but to the actions of a third party, often Alexander Hamilton.

  • A Great Judicial Character, Roger Brooke Taney'
    YALE LAW JOURNAL. A GREAT JUDICIAL CHARACTER, ROGER BROOKE TANEY' The history of the Judiciary of a country ought to be as instructive as that of its sovereigns or its zoldiers, and yet it is slighted by the ordinary chronicler who finds the back stair gossip of the palace or the blare and jingle of the camp more engaging to his pen than the sober story of the high but sometimes frigid development of Justice and its administration. For us American Lawyers in one hundred and thirty-two years of national exis- tence, its course is illustrated and its needs and achievements personified in the seven men who have held and administered the great office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, omitting those titular holders of the office who took no substantial part in its administration, like Rutlege who failed of confirmation on account of loss of reason which was deemed to incapacitate him. First in the honorable procession comes John Jay of New York, of Huguenot blood, who at thirty years of age was serving the revolutionists as a member of the committee of correspondence with the European friends of American Liberty, especially in the negotiations with France; later, resigning from the Continental Congress to serve in that of his province of New York. He was two years minister to Spain. With Franklin and Adams later he successfully negotiated peace -with Great Britain. Five years he was Secretary for Foreign Affairs and then was appointed by Washington the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1789.
